Dreamworks' Xombie?

Nope, that's not a typo in the title. At least not MY typo (for once...). That's a pitch currently being looked into by Dreamworks, with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci along to produce. Aren't you two supposed to be working on a TREK sequel? Focus, guys!

The proposed film centers on a dead dude named Dirge who protects humanity from evil zombies. As opposed to the good kind. So, how many Zombie movie projects are in the pipeline thus far?

Why not just go ahead and call it a DEAD HEAT remake, you may ask. That's because it's a pitch from ex-cop-turned-writer Will Beall based a comic book by James Farr based on his online animated series. Anyone seen it? I'm a little curious.
